Pedros is well known for their bike care products and for being a very environmentally minded company. They’ve recently picked up some new investors and gotten a new infusion of cash. During the press conference yesterday I asked what they would be doing with their new found money and they said:

We’re very interested and aware of the transportation and utility bike segment. I think that’s very very important. It’s the underpinngins of what we see as sustainability. [...] I think you’ll see a lot more in the transportation and utility area from us.

Although they wouldn’t give up to much information on new products, they did show us the new Pedros Trixie tool. This small item is packed with features.

Lockring tool

Pin hole to make your own chain whip (going with the green theme, they want you to use an old piece of chain to make your chain whip)

What is it made of? those hex sections look like they’d strip out pretty quickly unless this thing is tool steel or something forged/beefy. Can you even use that to tighten brake calipers? I like the idea, but I’d have to use one for a while to see how practical it actually is. Kudos for outside the box thinking though!

dang it! they listened to y’all and now there’s no spoke wrench! i ride hard in philly and there are enough curbs and potholes to throw any wheel out of true if you hit em hard enough. A spoke tool gets me home and i am a real minimalist i would prefer it on this tool rather than having another piece of metal in my pocket. Bring back the spoke wrench and add a 6 allen key somewhere. It would be so easy…
